Evora s north bound on the A31 in Dorset followed it for a few miles, but i was in the "Other" car and then a McLaren MP4-12C heading south on the M3... both in orange. Spotted this afternoon.

Red Esprit on the roadside with for sale sign in the window, in Upton, next village to me.

Not sure if it's correct but i was told that Landrover developed a better head gasket with steel dowels to stop anything shifting, i heard the Rover head gasket and plastic dowels was prone to failing again... :? Not sure how true that is but it's worth checking out. :up
I'm always very careful to ...

Same all round!

If you're planning on track days 888's or I hear T1-Rs are good too and they are more road biased - but i have no experience of them.
I have the Toyo Proxes T1-R's on my Elise, i'm very happy with them. The car had them on the rear when i bought it 3 and a half years ago and ...

Hope you have fun with it. Bought my first Lotus three and a half years ago, S1 Elise same as you.. still grinning from ear to ear.

Must have been the same car we saw... i was exiting the M62 left towards Wakefield as it was parked up on the opposite side of the dual carriageway heading towards Castleford.

The first just outside of Boston Spar s1 in red waves all round :up

White Elite in the same place :up

Just outside of Bishop Burton a dark s1 with MX5 in tow :up

And last but not leased Joff near the Ketch at Willerby :up
Saw the white Elite. :D But i must confess at the time i didn't know ...

Dark blue S1 Elise this morning heading towards M62 past the Normanton ind est 'bout half past eight. I was on my way to work to pick up the rear spoiler after having it painted.

I believe so yes I was coming the other way driving the works transit looked like you were having fun !!
I'm always having fun driving it. :clap
I love it, it feels like nothing else i've ever driven before, rather drive it than the "Other" car.. the wife's welcome to it...unless it's snowing of ...

I would imagine that was me... did it have a hardtop fitted?

I've had my S1 Elise just over three years now, bought between christmas and new year, what a crimbo pressie that was!!! :D
I searched about a bit and looked at quite a few S1's, most had more wear and tear on them than i was prepared to put up with, i spent a little more than i wanted to initially ...

Yes, it sounds like it was me but i can't be sure.

Could have been me actually, i have to wrap up warm now and avoid getting cold. The car has the hardtop on now for what little use it'll get through the winter.
Looking forward not only to the warmer weather but the end of this chemotherapy which runs until Feb-March now...

Red Ferrari Daytona, parked on the hard shoulder of some motorway (M1,M42, M40) can't remember where...been down to Winchester over the weekend, and a Black S2 Elise on the A34, i pulled in slightly to let him past as i was in the "Other car", nice exhaust note!

I've had more than my fair share of accidents over the years, during my younger wilder years, most were down to me and i have no one else to blame, but those that weren't my fault really hurt even more than the rest. I feel your pain, and sympathise, having to possibly give it up makes it even ...
